FAQs for Individuals Seeking Employment and Housing
What job positions are available through the Entryway program?
The most common positions Entryway apartment industry partners are looking to fill are groundskeeper, maintenance tech, and leasing consultant. There are also times when opportunities for additional on-site roles become available, including administrative assistant, concierge, and property manager.
What type of skills do I need to have to be considered for a groundskeeper position?
More than a gardener, our most successful groundskeepers are also general laborer candidates who leverage their experience in landscaping, grounds maintenance, and the use of various electronic tools to help create a beautiful environment for apartment residents to live in. They take pride in the work they do every single day with a willingness to learn.
What supportive services does Entryway provide to its clients?
Resume and interview coaching: Entryway partners with volunteers to support our clients during the pre-employment stage to strengthen their resumes and prepare for interviews. Volunteers meet virtually for a minimum of 30 minutes to offer suggestions to improve their resume and do mock interview sessions.
Learning and development: Entryway uses a robust online program geared specifically for our clients through Edge2Learn, a virtual training software platform. Entryway uses Edge2Learn to provide clients in both the pre-employment stage and after employment is achieved to receive technical training, soft skills, and financial literacy. Once a client is employed, Entryway partners with their supervisor to provide wraparound support tied to their new position with additional technical modules to assist in career advancement.
Mentoring: If a client is hired into employment with an Entryway industry partner, they are provided with a trained volunteer mentor committed to their success. Mentors provide guidance and support for a full year. Mentors meet regularly with their mentee and provide a safe, supportive, judgment-free space for open dialogue about their work and life experiences, and future goals.
